In order to further test a large Delamerian granite pluton for its potential to host an economic porphyry molybdenum deposit of the Climax, Colorado type (following initial exploratory drilling and IP surveys that had been carried out by the SA...

The purpose of the work described was to compare and contrast the petrography, accessory minerals, and absolute ages of 25 granitic and allied rock samples collected from widely scattered localities in South Australia. The processes that are...

Investigations have shown that in the Sir Joseph Banks Group, molybdenite and scheelite are confined to the southern tip of Spilsby Island. The minerals occur in thin irregular veins, in masses of quartz, and as disseminations scattered through...

A resistivity and I.P. Survey was carried out over the southern part of Spilsby Island, to test for molybdenite mineralisation in the granites. Inconclusive results were obtained, as the anomalies mapped could have been caused by the contacts of the...

Rocks in the Flinders and Hutchinson groups are exposed sporadically around the coast of Eyre Peninsula. Reported occurrences of molybdenite and scheelite in these rock types were investigated. No significant rare metal minerals were found in the...

In the Sir Joseph Banks Group of southern Spencer Gulf offshore islands, outcropping Archaean arenaceous, arkosic and calcareous sedimentary rocks appear to have been folded and granitised prior to the deposition of the Adelaidean System sedimentary...

A small amount of molybdenite, submitted by Mr. A.F. Scammell, has had its identity confirmed by the Chief Mineralogist. The specimen is in an old sample bag and is accompanied by notes indicating that it came from, or was connected with Allen's Farm...

For a project to determine the base metal potential of known copper-mineralised igneous rocks which outcrop in an area located approximately 59 km south-west of Olary, the South Australian Government has completed detailed mapping, geochemical...

Geological data indicates deposits have similar Cu - U mineralization. The Mount Painter deposits occur in Radium Ridge Beds of Sturtian age unconformably overlying Radium Creek Metamorphics and underlying Mount Gee Beds. Recent work suggests these...

Remodelling and re-interpretation of the geological and geophysical signatures of the Netley Hill prospect by the EL 3848 Joint Venture has indicated good potential for discovering a large porphyry copper-gold deposit at depth, beneath historical...

An area of 7 square miles surrounding the historic shallowly worked Parabarana copper deposit in the far north-eastern Flinders Ranges, which outcrops at Copper Hill as vein-type disseminated secondary ore over a width of around 1200 feet, was...

Three Exploration Licences spread across the central and eastern Musgrave Ranges are now being explored by NiCul Minerals Limited (a wholly owned subsidiary of PepinNini Minerals Limited) which currently owns 100% of each tenement. The ground held is...

TARGET: Economic tin mineralisation. EXPLORATION: 1:32,000 scale detailed geological mapping, diamond drilling (9 shallow vertical holes - deepest 57 feet) in the Mount Mitchell area near Glenloth Goldfield, bulk sampling of greisen and vein quartz,...

Shallow drilling covering untested areas of 59 holes totalling 2 586 feet revealed negative assays for W and Mo, no further exploration is warranted.

On the south-eastern extremity of Spilsby Island, there are concentrations of molybdenite and scheelite that occur either in an open vein system or as disseminations, and also in pods, usually associated with quartz. The most important host rock is an...

Oxidized copper minerals and molybdenite occur in quartz veins cutting sericitized granodiorite 2 miles (3km) east of Bendigo Homestead. Coincident copper soil and I.P. anomalies were tested by drilling. A zone of probable secondary copper,...
